HOME WOD – Monday 28 September 2020

For today, make the only goal to go as hard as you can. 150 wall ball / Air Squats or Burpees seems like a lot, which might make you want to pace it. But, today is not the day to pace it. We want you to do as big a set as possible at the start, and to push for the whole workout. This may not seem like a practical way to approach this workout, and it isn’t the only way, but it is what we are encouraging you all to try today.

This may not seem like a practical way to approach this workout, and it isn’t the only way, but it is what we are encouraging you all to try today.

Some athletes may be able to go unbroken. That is rare, but it happens. Those athletes can finish it sub 5 minutes. For the majority of you, allowing up to 10 minutes to complete is a good goal.

For most athletes the loading is a little heavier than a med ball. We have kept the reps at 150 since you don’t ‘throw’ the dumbbell. Scale as you see fit.

Scaling

Wall balls: First, scale the load and target height. Then, reduce the reps to 100, or 80.

 

WOD Goal

Today we are doing one of the original lady classics. Karen. A simple squat/press combo. 150 wall ball. Done properly, which is as fast as you can, it will elicit a very similar response to that of Fran. The biggest challenge is getting to this level of intensity. Because accuracy is involved, oftentimes people stick to a more conservative route so you aren’t in any danger of failing reps. This is understandable. For today, let’s open the throttle and see what happens!
